was sent to the contractor of that bid, informing the contractor that the City was not going to proceed with the work. One of the recommendations before City Council is to officially reject the bid received on April 25, 2017. Pakpour Consulting Group designed both segments of the project under the City's on- call contract. To repackage the two separate projects and provide additional project bid support, the Pakpour Consulting Group task authorization was amended with an additional $15,655, for a total design cost of$77,615. DISCUSSION Construction Bid Sealed bids for this project were opened on November 9, 2017. A total of nine bids were received ranging from $2,243,000 to $3,871,911 (see Attachment 1, Bid Summary). The Engineer's Estimate for this project was $2,536,000. The low base bid of$2,243,000 was received from K.J. Woods Construction, Inc. of San Francisco, California. An Additive Alternative Bid Item for $5,000 is recommended for award to change the construction method for the work under the railroad crossing from the base bid work of installing a 10-inch fusible PVC pipeline within the existing cast iron pipe, to the alternative bid work of installing a 12-inch cured-in-place pipe (CIPP) within the existing cast iron pipe. The additional $5,000 for 12-inch CIPP line will provide more capacity than the 10-inch fusible PVC pipeline. All bid documents were found to be in order and past work performed by this contractor was verified to be satisfactory. Staff is recommending award of the construction contract to the lowest responsible bidder, K.J. Woods Construction, Inc. for both the base bid and additive alternative bid item for a total of$2,248,000. Required Professional Services Geotechnical services will be necessary during construction to test backfill materials and the compaction of the trench backfill associated with the pipeline installation.
